> Test disabled until someone looks into the failures:

This special case is still in the test:

```html
if (navigator.userAgent.includes("Windows NT 6.2")) {
  todo(false, "Too many intermittent failures on Windows 8 (bug 886781)");
  SimpleTest.finish();
```

This check will fail on Windows 10 and 11, which implies that this test is running just fine on those versions, which is good news.

I don't think we run mochitests on Windows 8 these days, so we can probably remove that special case to clean up the test.

I don't think we run mochitests on Windows 8 in automation these days[1] so we can probably remove that special case to clean up the test.
